I think we've noticed the pass protection getting better the past few games, but due to scheme, Carr was still getting the ball out in 2 seconds. I think they decided to try and take advantage of the extra protection this game and the results were pretty good. Some of it is because the Rams defense is as pathetic as ours, but you have to give some credit to the offense, both players and coaches.

We played one of the worst pass defenses in the league. It looked good, but in reality it wasn't that great of an accomplishment. I did however see the WR's make some plays for a change, something that has been sorely missed in this offense. Example. The play was a bootleg to the right and Carr was running and point for his reciever (Johnson) to get open. Normally our WR's would quit on the play and just watch Carr run out of bounds...behind the line of scrimmage mind you. But in this case, AJ actually moved to get open to catch the ball. Great adjustments, I wish we could get more of these.

I still feel this receiving unit has alot to learn and has never benifited from the likes of a real veteran WR. If they did they would learn to break off patterns more during times Carr is getting hurried and learn to come back to the ball better.

Does anyone know how Gaff did or has been doing since Johnson has been on the field?

While I'm proud of our offensive unit's performance, I think we need to keep it in check. Yesterday was more of a testament to how bad the Rams defense is than anything. If our offense can consistently play like that through a few games, then we'll have something to hang our hat on.

The best thing is 17 targets! Thats about as many catches as he had the first 3 games! You have to wonder why we dont try this more often. .

Yup, you have to wonder. It's almost like they went in at halftime and decided what could be the worst thing they could do and did that. Seems like they play the guys that don't make plays and call the plays that most folks know won't work. They have success with something and then INTENTIONALY move away from it by trying to sit on a lead. Capers plan is to keep it close and win it in the 4th. Well he got it close in the 4th. Guess he didn't count on the Rams overwhelming our brickwall of a defense.

I second that motion....and we still lost. At least Pendry will open things up when it's painfully obvious that it will be succussfull.
